💙 A Tribute to Nick ♥️

It’s with the deepest sadness that we remember our dear friend and fellow Shuffler, Nick Deane. Nick was the heart of our club — always welcoming, encouraging, and giving his time selflessly to help others.

For many of us, Nick was the first friendly face we saw. He was the welcoming handshake at parkrun , the encouraging word on a cold morning with the Shufflers. He had a gift for making everyone feel seen and valued, always taking time to chat, to listen, and to make us feel we belonged.

Even after his MND diagnosis, Nick’s courage and positivity never wavered. He continued to be an important part of our club, also raising tens of thousands of pounds for MND Association. He inspired us all with his determination and kindness.

We’ll never forget moments like on an icy December day in 2023, when Nick completed his “Run 25 Miles in December” challenge surrounded by friends and laughter — a true reflection of his spirit.

We will miss Nick dearly here at the Shufflers. But we will carry his spirit with us every time we lace up our shoes, welcome a new face, or push through our own challenges.

🏃‍♀️ Let’s Lift the Curfew! 🌙

We’re inviting all runners to join us for a friendly, supportive club run on Wednesday 29th October as part of Sport England's 'Lets Lift The Curfew' campaign.

This initiative helps women who may feel uncomfortable running alone in the dark to keep active and confident through the winter -by running with a group or club.

🕕 Time: 6.50pm
✨ Wear: Something bright!
